Details
Camera's may get all the attention, but it's lenses that really make the difference between good and great footage. There's a lens for every situation, and while each director of photography will have their preference when it comes to focal lengths, there's no denying that a quality zoom is an invaluable tool to have on set. This is especially true on independent productions, where there may not be budget for a full set of primes. One of the best is Canon's CN-E 18-80 mm T4.4 COMPACT-SERVO lens, which combines amazing ease of use and an EF mount with all the familiar high-end features of the CN-E series.
These features include coverage for Super 35 and APS-C formats, a 9-blade aperture diaphragm and 180 degree focus rotation, along with image stabilisation and autofocus - a first for EOS cameras. The lens is designed to be versatile; a middle ground that bridges the gap between lower-cost EF cameras and precise PL primes. 18-80 mm range further increases the potential utilisations of the lens, with a broad coverage of the most common focal lengths.
To make the lens even more functional, it comes equipped with fully external servo control for zoom, focus and aperture. This makes it a breeze to operate, whether as part of a large team or a single operator setup.
The Canon CN-E 18-80mm T4.4 COMPACT-SERVO Lens combines the
functionality of Canon's EF lenses with the features and performance of their
CN-E lineup. Designed for use with EF-mount cameras featuring Super 35 or APS-C
sized sensors, the lens covers an incredibly useful 18 to 80mm focal range while
maintaining a constant T-stop of T4.4 (f/4) throughout. Measuring 7.2" long and
weighing only 2.65 lb, the lens presents itself as a compact, lightweight option
suitable for a variety of productions, from narrative work to run-and-gun
documentaries. Notably, the lens is Canon's first cine-style option to
incorporate image stabilization and auto focus functionality when paired with
Cinema EOS cameras.
Further enhancing the versatility of this lens, Canon has equipped it with a
servo drive unit compatible with industry-standard lens controllers, including
Canon's broadcast ZSD-300D and FPD-400D, for full zoom, focus, and iris control.
Alternatively, you can outfit the lens with the optional ZSG-C10 Control Grip
for ENG-style lens control and operation. Power is provided to the grip from
compatible cameras via the EF mount. For non-servo zoom control, the lens
features cine-standard 0.8 mod gears, as well as a rubberized grip on the focus
ring enabling comfortable manual operation.
